Matilda Bookshop Review

This collection of stories by the blazing and formidable talent that is Georgia Blain, published posthumously, track the ordinary madnesses, the bliss and the sorrow it is to be in relationship with others, as the characters reel from extremis to pleasure, ascension to despair. Blood and guts. As an avid Blain fan, it was a treasure and a delight to read new words from a beautiful brain taken from this world too soon. MOLLY
